When we walk into a supermarket, we assume that we have the widest possible choice of healthy foods. But in fact, over the course of the 20th century, our food system was co-opted by corporate forces whose interests do not lie in providing the public with fresh, healthy, sustainably-produced food.
Fortunately for America, an alternative emerged from the counter-culture of California in the late 1960s and early 1970s, where a group of political anti-corporate protesters–led by Alice Waters–voiced their dissent by creating a food chain outside of the conventional system. The unintended result was the birth of a vital local-sustainable-organic food movement which has brought back taste and variety to our tables.
FOOD FIGHT is a fascinating look at how American agricultural policy and food culture developed in the 20th century, and how the California food movement has created a counter-revolution against big agribusiness.

This video on whether the production of organic food is a scam/lie or at best a big waste of money is in response to a video I saw produced by Prager Unervisity and narrated by Bjorn Lomborg called "Is Organic FoodWorth the Cost?", which practically argues that the whole organic food industry is fake and the only reason people buy organic goods is due to clever marketing by those in the organic food industry.

In our recent interview with successful entrepreneur Dwayne Martens, Founder ofAmazonia, Dwayne shares his story in business, having left university in 2008 at the age of 22 to launch Amazonia. Today, Amazonia supplies Acai products to over 5 countries and has made a positive humanitarian and environmental footprint, working with over 4000 families in the Amazon through fair trade and preserving over 4000 acres of natural Acai rain forest. Dwayne reveals both the challenges and opportunities of breaking into the highly competitive market like the health food industry. He is an inspiring example that a commercial venture can be profitable whilst still serving the community and environment. He shares the 'keys' to their successful expansion and stresses the importance of their purpose of their work, in not just selling health food products but in leading a 'unique health movement'.

There is growing demand in the western world for organic food. But do consumers always get what it says on the label? How can authenticity be verified?
Is organic food automatically healthier? Consumers are prepared to pay a significant premium for it. There are currently, however, no reliable tests for distinguishing organic from conventionally produced food. Farmers need to invest a great deal of time, energy and money to qualify as a producer of organic food. There is no proof, however, that organic food actually contains fewer contaminants than conventionally farmed products. There is no such thing as pollution-free food, and there are currently no tests available for reliably distinguishing between organic and non-organic food. That opens doors for lucrative labeling fraud, which in turn explains why there are far more organic eggs on the market at Easter than at any other time of the year. The statistics clearly suggest manipulation, but it is hard to obtain evidence due to the differences between the two production processes appearing to have little effect on the quality of the product. Irish dairy farmers, for instance, are not allowed to label their milk "organic" because the pasture land where their herds spend more than 300 days a year are treated with mineral fertilizers. Because cows are themselves bioreactors, however, the milk they yield contains no trace at all of fertilizer. On average, conventional Irish milk contains more omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants than organic milk from Germany. The reason is the fodder; German organic farms may use only concentrates and silage as supplementary feed to increase milk output - which impacts negatively on the quality of the milk. This documentary looks at researchers who are studying potential ways of reliably distinguishing between organic and conventionally produced food. And that is no easy task. Nearly every foodstuff requires a specific test. But one thing is certain: organic farming makes a major contribution to human welfare - by helping to mitigate climate change, protect the groundwater, conserve nature and promote animal welfare.

New Delhi, Feb 04 (ANI): Being natural and chemical free, are the two aspects which people in India look for their eating habits today…Same is the case for Amit and Mridhu Mahajan, who believe that organic market has come a long way, developing its space in the national market. Their store ‘Nirvaaha’ is one such stop which offers variety of organic vegetables, pulses, spices, cooking oils and other organic products. They believe that the trend of health consciousness among consumers has led to bring upsurge in the organic food sector. With variant income groups and region of the country, consumers for organic food products are increasing day by day with their acute awareness from health hazards of chemicals and pesticides. Organic food market, which was considered as a niche segment by the Indian consumers, has now transformed into full-fledged industry with high growth potential. It has shown a growth at a CAGR of 30.7 per cent over the period of FY’2009-FY’2014. And, according to the recent report released by ASSOCHAM, the organic food market is estimated to rise from 402 million USD to 965 million USD in 2016.

Browsing the store shelves, we usually take what catches our eye - products in a bright package or widely advertised ones. But is it the right thing to do? We know that pretty looks don’t guarantee good taste or health benefits.
If you wonder how to pick high-quality coffee or hesitate if the chocolate you are about to put into your trolley is tasty enough, our video will dispel your doubts! Bright Side shares some recommendations that will help you to choose only healthy and natural foods.
#foodsecrets #freshfood #shoppingtips
TIMESTAMPS
Hard cheese 0:47
Meat 1:14
Ground coffee 1:40
Honey 2:09
Ice cream 2:45
Chocolate 3:11
Fish 3:55
Bread 4:22
Carrots 4:40
Bell pepper 5:12
Scallions 5:32
Gelatin 5:55
SUMMARY
- When buying hard cheese, pay close attention to a number of its qualities, such as color, texture, and holes. It should be uniform and without a white crust. The holes shouldn’t be gathered together in one corner as if having a private party, - they should be evenly distributed on the whole chunk.
- Fresh meat is pink. It isn’t bright red or even brown. You should pay attention to the fat streaks: they should be glistening and very light. Good meat will also return to its original shape and not stick to your hands or feel slimy.
- Remember that good ground coffee is never stored in plastic jars, only in glass or metal ones. Choose coffee, whose package provides extra details, such as region, altitude, roast date. Look at the “best before” date - it shouldn’t be more than 18 months.
- Natural honey is transparent, with a uniform color. Taste it – it should be very sweet. Also, its smell is extremely fragrant. You can run a couple of tests to check its quality. First, you can rub a drop of it between your fingers: if it’s easily absorbed by your skin, it’s fine.
- Always read the contents of ice cream. Berry flavored ones are rarely natural, so it’s better to choose ice cream containing only nuts, candied fruit or gumdrops.
- First and foremost, pay attention to the ingredients of chocolate. Guess what? The shorter the list, the better your bar is! Quality chocolate must contain cocoa, while any derivatives are a sign of an artificial product.
- A fresh fish has bright eyes. If they are clouded or bulging, the fish is old. The gills should be bright red or light pink (but it rarely happens, when blood was drained through the gills).
- Fresh bread shouldn’t be tough, so always touch it at the store. Note that plastic bags let the bread stay fresh for longer, but it means nothing. It will lose its taste in just a couple of hours in such a package.
- Unwrapped carrots lose their crispness and sweetness if they are kept at room temperature. So packages from refrigerators will contain tastier carrots. Take well-shaped small carrots with no spots or rootlets.
- Two or three sections in a bell pepper indicate that it’s a little bitter and has fewer seeds. If there are four sections, it will be sweet with lots of seeds. Also, pay attention to the lower part of the pepper where it bulges.
- Look at the border between the white and green parts of the scallion. If it is distinct, the product is good, if it is gradual - pick another one as this one will be too tough.
- Are you a lover of gummy bears? Well, we have some bad news for you. Besides having in their content too much sugar, which is really bad for your health, these sweets also contain gelatin. And it is no secret that gelatin is made by boiling the skin, tendons, ligaments, and bones of pigs and cows with water.

Processed FoodDocumentary: Processed Food vs. Nutritional Needs.
The human body runs on food. Once, food shortage was the major concern. After the second world war, technological advances in food production led to a new era, that was characterized by an overabundance of inexpensive food, and relatively little physical activity. In the decades that followed, other sociocultural shifts continued to contribute to the changing way we ate. Women who had previously controlled most of the average family's food preparation now entered the workforce in significant numbers. And the processed food industry began to capitalize on our need for fast, convenient food.
This meant that fewer meals were being cooked at home. And since convenience foods were generally higher in calories than home-cooked meals, the average person's caloric intake increased dramatically.
MayaAdam, MD, is waging a battle cry against one of America’s most critical – and challenging – public health crises of our generation: childhood obesity. A lecturer at Stanford School of Medicine and in Stanford University’s human biology program, she is leading the cause through education.

We know some products are really dangerous for our health, and other products are good for us as they are healthy. It turns out it’s not so simple and some of the most promoted and popular foods can, in fact, harm you. Never eat these 10 dangerous foods for the sake of your own health and the health of your family.
Even if you see the juice labels “not from concentrate” or “100% pure”, don't let this fool you. Juice, after being squeezed from different fruits, is kept in huge vacuum-sealed tanks where it can sit for up to a year before being packaged! And by that time, the juice has lost all its flavor, which is why manufacturers have to add artificial flavoring to make it taste fruity again.
In most cases, cereals are loaded with refined carbohydrates and sugar. Even if the label assures you that it's fat-free and whole grain, check the list of ingredients. You'll most likely see that the product is full of sugar.
Despite common belief, most yogurts don't contain probiotic bacteria since the process of pasteurization kills all these microorganisms.
When consumed, trans-fats in ice-cream can cause high cholesterol, stroke, heart disease, and even cancer. Ice cream is also loaded with sugar, artificial flavors, and synthetic preservatives. And if it’s pink, purple, or red, it’s most likely been colored with cochineal extract or carmine, additives which can cause bad allergic reactions.
Popcorn has some genetically modified ingredients as well as taste-boosting chemicals and additives. This leads to health problems such as heart attacks, digestive issues, allergies, skin rashes, breathing problems, and the depressing list goes on. Even more, popcorn is extremely caloric.

SUMMARY
-Store-bought juices may contain some real fruit, but most of their content is water, sugar, and artificial flavoring.
-Protein bars and energy bars alike are usually processed products containing sugar, artificial flavors and sweeteners.
-Breakfast cereals typically contain a teeny tiny amount of whole grains, which allows producers to mark their product as healthy, but they also contain unhealthy sugar.
-Margarine is typically made from industrial vegetable oils hydrogenated to become solid, a process that significantly increases the oils’ trans-fat content.
-Manufacturers load “low-fat” yogurts with sugar to make up for the lack of taste usually provided by the natural fats.
-Instead of pure milk or cream, manufacturers use cheaper hydrogenated fats such as palm- or coconut oil to produce ice-cream. These oils, when heated, become nothing more than trans-fats.
-One egg contains as much cholesterol as a big greasy burger.
-Microwave popcorn’s almost always lined with the same toxic substance you can find in Teflon pans.
-If candy doesn’t contain sugar, it contains artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, sucralose, and saccharine. These substances are chemically processed and may cause some serious side effects.
-Artificial sweeteners in diet soda can easily lead to weight gain as they trigger the production of insulin, which makes your body store fat.

Health claims

According to the FDA, "Health claims describe a relationship between a food, food component, or dietary supplement ingredient, and reducing risk of a disease or health-related condition".

In general, claims of health benefits for specific foodstuffs have not been evaluated by national regulatory agencies. Additionally, research funded by manufacturers or marketers that may form the basis of such marketing claims has been shown to result in more favorable results than independently funded research.

Regulation: local, regional, national, and international rules and regulations for food make you increase sperm production and sale, including food quality, food safety, marketing/advertising, and industry lobbying activities

Organic food

Organic foods are foods produced by organic farming. While the standards differ worldwide, organic farming in general features cultural, biological, and mechanical practices that foster cycling of resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity. Synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers are not allowed, although certain approved pesticides may be used. In general, organic foods are also not processed using irradiation, industrial solvents, or synthetic food additives.

Currently, the European Union, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan and many other countries require producers to obtain special certification in order to market food as organic within their borders. In the context of these regulations, organic food is food produced in a way that complies with organic standards set by national governments and international organizations. Although the produce of kitchen gardens may be organic, selling food with the organic label is regulated by governmental food safety authorities, such as the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) or European Commission.

Food (Kelis album)

Food is the sixth studio album by American recording artist Kelis, released on April 18, 2014, becoming her first album released under Ninja Tune Records. In 2007, Jive dropped Kelis, and she later signed to Interscope and will.i.am Music Group in 2009, through the label she released her fifth studio album, Flesh Tone, which saw Kelis experiment with a dance sound. In 2011 Kelis began work on the follow up to Flesh Tone, however she left Interscope and signed to Federal Prism, before officially signing to the British independent label Ninja Tune for the release of Food.

Food is an R&B and soul album with a diverse musical style that incorporates funk, Afro-beat, Memphis soul, R&B and neo-soul. Its songs feature crackling horns, brass, earthy guitars, simmering electronics and vocals from Kelis that were noted as being breathy, smoky and sultry.
The album was viewed as a return to Kelis' previous music prior to Flesh Tone, and was described by Kelis as, "a kind of unspoken lovefest". The album was written by Kelis, alongside David Andrew Sitek, and Todd Simon, and was entirely produced by Dave Sitek and features guest performances by CSS and Priscilla Ahn.

Zico Chain

Zico Chain are a rock band from London, United Kingdom, formed in 2002. To date, they have released two full albums entitled Food and The Devil in Your Heart, a self titled EP and an EP called These Birds Will Kill Us All. The band opened the main stage at the Download Festival on 8 June 2007. They supported Velvet Revolver on their 2007 summer tour of the UK, in support of their second album Libertad. Their new album The Devil in Your Heart was released on 16 April 2012.

Bright Side (album)

Bright Side is the first studio album from OBB. Curb Records released the album on September 30, 2014. They worked with Justin Ebach, in the production of this album.

Critical reception

Awarding the album four stars at Worship Leader, Jay Akins states, "Bright Side is a solid offering of music that works well in a student ministry or outreach setting." Sarah Fine, giving the album four stars by New Release Today, writes, "Technicalities aside, this is a strong debut from a band that has the potential to stay the course for years to come." Rating the album four stars from 365 Days of Inspiring Media, Jonathan Andre says, "what Bright Side delivers is good radio pop- and if the album is taken and listened as it is rather than what we all wish it to be, the album will serve as a great vessel for praise and worship, which is exactly what OBB accomplish within these 12 tracks."

When we walk into a supermarket, we assume that we have the widest possible choice of healthy foods. But in fact, over the course of the 20th century, our food system was co-opted by corporate forces whose interests do not lie in providing the public with fresh, healthy, sustainably-produced food.

Organic food industry picks up pace in india

New Delhi, Feb 04 (ANI): Being natural and chemical free, are the two aspects which people in India look for their eating habits today…Same is the case for Amit and Mridhu Mahajan, who believe that organic market has come a long way, developing its space in the national market. Their store ‘Nirvaaha’ is one such stop which offers variety of organic vegetables, pulses, spices, cooking oils and other organic products. They believe that the trend of health consciousness among consumers has led to bring upsurge in the organic food sector. With variant income groups and region of the country, consumers for organic food products are increasing day by day with their acute awareness from health hazards of chemicals and pesticides. Organic food market, which was considered as a niche segment by the Indian consumers, has now transformed into full-fledged industry with high growth potential. It has shown a growth at a CAGR of 30.7 per cent over the period of FY’2009-FY’2014. And, according to the recent report released by ASSOCHAM, the organic food market is estimated to rise from 402 million USD to 965 million USD in 2016.

12 Secrets the Food Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know

Browsing the store shelves, we usually take what catches our eye - products in a bright package or widely advertised ones. But is it the right thing to do? We know that pretty looks don’t guarantee good taste or health benefits.
If you wonder how to pick high-quality coffee or hesitate if the chocolate you are about to put into your trolley is tasty enough, our video will dispel your doubts! Bright Side shares some recommendations that will help you to choose only healthy and natural foods.

TIMESTAMPS
Hard cheese 0:47
Meat 1:14
Ground coffee 1:40
Honey 2:09
Ice cream 2:45
Chocolate 3:11
Fish 3:55
Bread 4:22
Carrots 4:40
Bell pepper 5:12
Scallions 5:32
Gelatin 5:55
SUMMARY
- When buying hard cheese, pay close attention to a number of its qualities, such as color, texture, and holes. It should be uniform and without a white crust. The holes shouldn’t be gathered together in one corner as if having a private party, - they should be evenly distributed on the whole chunk.
- Fresh meat is pink. It isn’t bright red or even brown. You should pay attention to the fat streaks: they should be glistening and very light. Good meat will also return to its original shape and not stick to your hands or feel slimy.
- Remember that good ground coffee is never stored in plastic jars, only in glass or metal ones. Choose coffee, whose package provides extra details, such as region, altitude, roast date. Look at the “best before” date - it shouldn’t be more than 18 months.
- Natural honey is transparent, with a uniform color. Taste it – it should be very sweet. Also, its smell is extremely fragrant. You can run a couple of tests to check its quality. First, you can rub a drop of it between your fingers: if it’s easily absorbed by your skin, it’s fine.
- Always read the contents of ice cream. Berry flavored ones are rarely natural, so it’s better to choose ice cream containing only nuts, candied fruit or gumdrops.
- First and foremost, pay attention to the ingredients of chocolate. Guess what? The shorter the list, the better your bar is! Quality chocolate must contain cocoa, while any derivatives are a sign of an artificial product.
- A fresh fish has bright eyes. If they are clouded or bulging, the fish is old. The gills should be bright red or light pink (but it rarely happens, when blood was drained through the gills).
- Fresh bread shouldn’t be tough, so always touch it at the store. Note that plastic bags let the bread stay fresh for longer, but it means nothing. It will lose its taste in just a couple of hours in such a package.
- Unwrapped carrots lose their crispness and sweetness if they are kept at room temperature. So packages from refrigerators will contain tastier carrots. Take well-shaped small carrots with no spots or rootlets.
- Two or three sections in a bell pepper indicate that it’s a little bitter and has fewer seeds. If there are four sections, it will be sweet with lots of seeds. Also, pay attention to the lower part of the pepper where it bulges.
- Look at the border between the white and green parts of the scallion. If it is distinct, the product is good, if it is gradual - pick another one as this one will be too tough.
- Are you a lover of gummy bears? Well, we have some bad news for you. Besides having in their content too much sugar, which is really bad for your health, these sweets also contain gelatin. And it is no secret that gelatin is made by boiling the skin, tendons, ligaments, and bones of pigs and cows with water.

Processed FoodDocumentary: Processed Food vs. Nutritional Needs.
The human body runs on food. Once, food shortage was the major concern. After the second world war, technological advances in food production led to a new era, that was characterized by an overabundance of inexpensive food, and relatively little physical activity. In the decades that followed, other sociocultural shifts continued to contribute to the changing way we ate. Women who had previously controlled most of the average family's food preparation now entered the workforce in significant numbers. And the processed food industry began to capitalize on our need for fast, convenient food.
This meant that fewer meals were being cooked at home. And since convenience foods were generally higher in calories than home-cooked meals, the average person's caloric intake increased dramatically.
MayaAdam, MD, is waging a battle cry against one of America’s most critical – and challenging – public health crises of our generation: childhood obesity. A lecturer at Stanford School of Medicine and in Stanford University’s human biology program, she is leading the cause through education.

10 Foods You Should Never Eat

10 Foods You Should Never Eat

10 Foods You Should Never Eat

We know some products are really dangerous for our health, and other products are good for us as they are healthy. It turns out it’s not so simple and some of the most promoted and popular foods can, in fact, harm you. Never eat these 10 dangerous foods for the sake of your own health and the health of your family.
Even if you see the juice labels “not from concentrate” or “100% pure”, don't let this fool you. Juice, after being squeezed from different fruits, is kept in huge vacuum-sealed tanks where it can sit for up to a year before being packaged! And by that time, the juice has lost all its flavor, which is why manufacturers have to add artificial flavoring to make it taste fruity again.
In most cases, cereals are loaded with refined carbohydrates and sugar. Even if the label assures you that it's fat-free and whole grain, check the list of ingredients. You'll most likely see that the product is full of sugar.
Despite common belief, most yogurts don't contain probiotic bacteria since the process of pasteurization kills all these microorganisms.
When consumed, trans-fats in ice-cream can cause high cholesterol, stroke, heart disease, and even cancer. Ice cream is also loaded with sugar, artificial flavors, and synthetic preservatives. And if it’s pink, purple, or red, it’s most likely been colored with cochineal extract or carmine, additives which can cause bad allergic reactions.
Popcorn has some genetically modified ingredients as well as taste-boosting chemicals and additives. This leads to health problems such as heart attacks, digestive issues, allergies, skin rashes, breathing problems, and the depressing list goes on. Even more, popcorn is extremely caloric.

SUMMARY
-Store-bought juices may contain some real fruit, but most of their content is water, sugar, and artificial flavoring.
-Protein bars and energy bars alike are usually processed products containing sugar, artificial flavors and sweeteners.
-Breakfast cereals typically contain a teeny tiny amount of whole grains, which allows producers to mark their product as healthy, but they also contain unhealthy sugar.
-Margarine is typically made from industrial vegetable oils hydrogenated to become solid, a process that significantly increases the oils’ trans-fat content.
-Manufacturers load “low-fat” yogurts with sugar to make up for the lack of taste usually provided by the natural fats.
-Instead of pure milk or cream, manufacturers use cheaper hydrogenated fats such as palm- or coconut oil to produce ice-cream. These oils, when heated, become nothing more than trans-fats.
-One egg contains as much cholesterol as a big greasy burger.
-Microwave popcorn’s almost always lined with the same toxic substance you can find in Teflon pans.
-If candy doesn’t contain sugar, it contains artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, sucralose, and saccharine. These substances are chemically processed and may cause some serious side effects.
-Artificial sweeteners in diet soda can easily lead to weight gain as they trigger the production of insulin, which makes your body store fat.

Marketing in the Organic Food Industry

When we walk into a supermarket, we assume that we have the widest possible choice of healthy foods. But in fact, over the course of the 20th century, our food system was co-opted by corporate forces whose interests do not lie in providing the public with fresh, healthy, sustainably-produced food.
Fortunately for America, an alternative emerged from the counter-culture of California in the late 1960s and early 1970s, where a group of political anti-corporate protesters–led by Alice Waters–voiced their dissent by creating a food chain outside of the conventional system. The unintended result was the birth of a vital local-sustainable-organic food movement which has brought back taste and variety to our tables.

There is no such thing as pollution-free food, and there are currently no tests available for reliably distinguishing between organic and non-organic food. That opens doors for lucrative labeling fraud, which in turn explains why there are far more organic eggs on the market at Easter than at any other time of the year. The statistics clearly suggest manipulation, but it is hard to obtain evidence due to the differences between the two production processes appearing to have little effect on the quality of the product. Irish dairy farmers, for instance, are not allowed to label their milk "organic" because the pasture land where their herds spend more than 300 days a year are treated with mineral fertilizers. Because cows are themselves bioreactors, however, the milk they yield contains no trace at all of fertilizer. On average, conventional Irish milk contains more omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants than organic milk from Germany. The reason is the fodder; German organic farms may use only concentrates and silage as supplementary feed to increase milk output - which impacts negatively on the quality of the milk. This documentary looks at researchers who are studying potential ways of reliably distinguishing between organic and conventionally produced food. And that is no easy task. Nearly every foodstuff requires a specific test. But one thing is certain: organic farming makes a major contribution to human welfare - by helping to mitigate climate change, protect the groundwater, conserve nature and promote animal welfare.

There is growing demand in the western world for organic food. But do consumers always get what it says on the label? How can authenticity be verified?
Is organic food automatically healthier? Consumers are prepared to pay a significant premium for it. There are currently, however, no reliable tests for distinguishing organic from conventionally produced food. Farmers need to invest a great deal of time, energy and money to qualify as a producer of organic food. There is no proof, however, that organic food actually contains fewer contaminants than conventionally farmed products.

New Delhi, Feb 04 (ANI): Being natural and chemical free, are the two aspects which people in India look for their eating habits today…Same is the case for Amit and Mridhu Mahajan, who believe that organic market has come a long way, developing its space in the national market. Their store ‘Nirvaaha’ is one such stop which offers variety of organic vegetables, pulses, spices, cooking oils and other organic products. They believe that the trend of health consciousness among consumers has led to bring upsurge in the organic food sector. With variant income groups and region of the country, consumers for organic food products are increasing day by day with their acute awareness from health hazards of chemicals and pesticides. Organic food market, which was considered as a niche segment by the Indian consumers, has now transformed into full-fledged industry with high growth potential. It has shown a growth at a CAGR of 30.7 per cent over the period of FY’2009-FY’2014. And, according to the recent report released by ASSOCHAM, the organic food market is estimated to rise from 402 million USD to 965 million USD in 2016.

Browsing the store shelves, we usually take what catches our eye - products in a bright package or widely advertised ones. But is it the right thing to do? We know that pretty looks don’t guarantee good taste or health benefits.
If you wonder how to pick high-quality coffee or hesitate if the chocolate you are about to put into your trolley is tasty enough, our video will dispel your doubts! Bright Side shares some recommendations that will help you to choose only healthy and natural foods.

TIMESTAMPS
Hard cheese 0:47
Meat 1:14
Ground coffee 1:40
Honey 2:09
Ice cream 2:45
Chocolate 3:11
Fish 3:55
Bread 4:22
Carrots 4:40
Bell pepper 5:12
Scallions 5:32
Gelatin 5:55
SUMMARY
- When buying hard cheese, pay close attention to a number of its qualities, such as color, texture, and holes. It should be uniform and without a white crust. The holes shouldn’t be gathered together in one corner as if having a private party, - they should be evenly distributed on the whole chunk.
- Fresh meat is pink. It isn’t bright red or even brown. You should pay attention to the fat streaks: they should be glistening and very light. Good meat will also return to its original shape and not stick to your hands or feel slimy.
- Remember that good ground coffee is never stored in plastic jars, only in glass or metal ones. Choose coffee, whose package provides extra details, such as region, altitude, roast date. Look at the “best before” date - it shouldn’t be more than 18 months.
- Natural honey is transparent, with a uniform color. Taste it – it should be very sweet. Also, its smell is extremely fragrant. You can run a couple of tests to check its quality. First, you can rub a drop of it between your fingers: if it’s easily absorbed by your skin, it’s fine.
- Always read the contents of ice cream. Berry flavored ones are rarely natural, so it’s better to choose ice cream containing only nuts, candied fruit or gumdrops.
- First and foremost, pay attention to the ingredients of chocolate. Guess what? The shorter the list, the better your bar is! Quality chocolate must contain cocoa, while any derivatives are a sign of an artificial product.
- A fresh fish has bright eyes. If they are clouded or bulging, the fish is old. The gills should be bright red or light pink (but it rarely happens, when blood was drained through the gills).
- Fresh bread shouldn’t be tough, so always touch it at the store. Note that plastic bags let the bread stay fresh for longer, but it means nothing. It will lose its taste in just a couple of hours in such a package.
- Unwrapped carrots lose their crispness and sweetness if they are kept at room temperature. So packages from refrigerators will contain tastier carrots. Take well-shaped small carrots with no spots or rootlets.
- Two or three sections in a bell pepper indicate that it’s a little bitter and has fewer seeds. If there are four sections, it will be sweet with lots of seeds. Also, pay attention to the lower part of the pepper where it bulges.
- Look at the border between the white and green parts of the scallion. If it is distinct, the product is good, if it is gradual - pick another one as this one will be too tough.
- Are you a lover of gummy bears? Well, we have some bad news for you. Besides having in their content too much sugar, which is really bad for your health, these sweets also contain gelatin. And it is no secret that gelatin is made by boiling the skin, tendons, ligaments, and bones of pigs and cows with water.

Processed FoodDocumentary: Processed Food vs. Nutritional Needs.
The human body runs on food. Once, food shortage was the major concern. After the second world war, technological advances in food production led to a new era, that was characterized by an overabundance of inexpensive food, and relatively little physical activity. In the decades that followed, other sociocultural shifts continued to contribute to the changing way we ate. Women who had previously controlled most of the average family's food preparation now entered the workforce in significant numbers. And the processed food industry began to capitalize on our need for fast, convenient food.
This meant that fewer meals were being cooked at home. And since convenience foods were generally higher in calories than home-cooked meals, the average person's caloric intake increased dramatically.
MayaAdam, MD, is waging a battle cry against one of America’s most critical – and challenging – public health crises of our generation: childhood obesity. A lecturer at Stanford School of Medicine and in Stanford University’s human biology program, she is leading the cause through education.

10 Foods You Should Never Eat

We know some products are really dangerous for our health, and other products are good for us as they are healthy. It turns out it’s not so simple and some of the most promoted and popular foods can, in fact, harm you. Never eat these 10 dangerous foods for the sake of your own health and the health of your family.
Even if you see the juice labels “not from concentrate” or “100% pure”, don't let this fool you. Juice, after being squeezed from different fruits, is kept in huge vacuum-sealed tanks where it can sit for up to a year before being packaged! And by that time, the juice has lost all its flavor, which is why manufacturers have to add artificial flavoring to make it taste fruity again.
In most cases, cereals are loaded with refined carbohydrates and sugar. Even if the label assures you that it's fat-free and whole grain, check the list of ingredients. You'll most likely see that the product is full of sugar.
Despite common belief, most yogurts don't contain probiotic bacteria since the process of pasteurization kills all these microorganisms.
When consumed, trans-fats in ice-cream can cause high cholesterol, stroke, heart disease, and even cancer. Ice cream is also loaded with sugar, artificial flavors, and synthetic preservatives. And if it’s pink, purple, or red, it’s most likely been colored with cochineal extract or carmine, additives which can cause bad allergic reactions.
Popcorn has some genetically modified ingredients as well as taste-boosting chemicals and additives. This leads to health problems such as heart attacks, digestive issues, allergies, skin rashes, breathing problems, and the depressing list goes on. Even more, popcorn is extremely caloric.

Low-fat yogurt 4:11
Ice cream 5:01
Eggs 6:07
Microwave popcorn 7:09
Sugar-free candy 8:32
Diet soda 9:26
SUMMARY
-Store-bought juices may contain some real fruit, but most of their content is water, sugar, and artificial flavoring.
-Protein bars and energy bars alike are usually processed products containing sugar, artificial flavors and sweeteners.
-Breakfast cereals typically contain a teeny tiny amount of whole grains, which allows producers to mark their product as healthy, but they also contain unhealthy sugar.
-Margarine is typically made from industrial vegetable oils hydrogenated to become solid, a process that significantly increases the oils’ trans-fat content.
-Manufacturers load “low-fat” yogurts with sugar to make up for the lack of taste usually provided by the natural fats.
-Instead of pure milk or cream, manufacturers use cheaper hydrogenated fats such as palm- or coconut oil to produce ice-cream. These oils, when heated, become nothing more than trans-fats.
-One egg contains as much cholesterol as a big greasy burger.
-Microwave popcorn’s almost always lined with the same toxic substance you can find in Teflon pans.
-If candy doesn’t contain sugar, it contains artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, sucralose, and saccharine. These substances are chemically processed and may cause some serious side effects.
-Artificial sweeteners in diet soda can easily lead to weight gain as they trigger the production of insulin, which makes your body store fat.

We know some products are really dangerous for our health, and other products are good for us as they are healthy. It turns out it’s not so simple and some of the most promoted and popular foods can, in fact, harm you. Never eat these 10 dangerous foods for the sake of your own health and the health of your family.
Even if you see the juice labels “not from concentrate” or “100% pure”, don't let this fool you. Juice, after being squeezed from different fruits, is kept in huge vacuum-sealed tanks where it can sit for up to a year before being packaged! And by that time, the juice has lost all its flavor, which is why manufacturers have to add artificial flavoring to make it taste fruity again.
In most cases, cereals are loaded with refined carbohydrates and sugar. Even if the label assures you that it's fat-free and whole grain, check the list of ingredients. You'll most likely see that the product is full of sugar.
Despite common belief, most yogurts don't contain probiotic bacteria since the process of pasteurization kills all these microorganisms.
When consumed, trans-fats in ice-cream can cause high cholesterol, stroke, heart disease, and even cancer. Ice cream is also loaded with sugar, artificial flavors, and synthetic preservatives. And if it’s pink, purple, or red, it’s most likely been colored with cochineal extract or carmine, additives which can cause bad allergic reactions.
Popcorn has some genetically modified ingredients as well as taste-boosting chemicals and additives. This leads to health problems such as heart attacks, digestive issues, allergies, skin rashes, breathing problems, and the depressing list goes on. Even more, popcorn is extremely caloric.

When we walk into a supermarket, we assume that we have the widest possible choice of healthy foods. But in fact, over the course of the 20th century, our food system was co-opted by corporate forces whose interests do not lie in providing the public with fresh, healthy, sustainably-produced food.
Fortunately for America, an alternative emerged from the counter-culture of California in the late 1960s and early 1970s, where a group of political anti-corporate protesters–led by Alice Waters–voiced their dissent by creating a food chain outside of the conventional system. The unintended result was the birth of a vital local-sustainable-organic food movement which has brought back taste and variety to our tables.
FOOD FIGHT is a fascinating look at how American agricultural policy and food culture developed in the 20th century, and how the California food movement has created a counter-revolution against big agribusiness.

Is Organic Food a Scam?

This video on whether the production of organic food is a scam/lie or at best a big waste of money is in response to a video I saw produced by Prager Unervisity and narrated by Bjorn Lomborg called "Is Organic FoodWorth the Cost?", which practically argues that the whole organic food industry is fake and the only reason people buy organic goods is due to clever marketing by those in the organic food industry.

SelfSufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane - the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started SSM in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let's get into it! Cheers, Mark :)

In our recent interview with successful entrepreneur Dwayne Martens, Founder ofAmazonia, Dwayne shares his story in business, having left university in 2008 at the age of 22 to launch Amazonia. Today, Amazonia supplies Acai products to over 5 countries and has made a positive humanitarian and environmental footprint, working with over 4000 families in the Amazon through fair trade and preserving over 4000 acres of natural Acai rain forest. Dwayne reveals both the challenges and opportunities of breaking into the highly competitive market like the health food industry. He is an inspiring example that a commercial venture can be profitable whilst still serving the community and environment. He shares the 'keys' to their successful expansion and stresses the importance of their purpose of their work, in not just selling health food products but in leading a 'unique health movement'.

Organic food - hype or hope? | DW Documentary

There is growing demand in the western world for organic food. But do consumers always get what it says on the label? How can authenticity be verified?
Is organic food automatically healthier? Consumers are prepared to pay a significant premium for it. There are currently, however, no reliable tests for distinguishing organic from conventionally produced food. Farmers need to invest a great deal of time, energy and money to qualify as a producer of organic food. There is no proof, however, that organic food actually contains fewer contaminants than conventionally farmed products. There is no such thing as pollution-free food, and there are currently no tests available for reliably distinguishing between organic and non-organic food. That opens doors for lucrative labeling fraud, which in turn explains why there are far more organic eggs on the market at Easter than at any other time of the year. The statistics clearly suggest manipulation, but it is hard to obtain evidence due to the differences between the two production processes appearing to have little effect on the quality of the product. Irish dairy farmers, for instance, are not allowed to label their milk "organic" because the pasture land where their herds spend more than 300 days a year are treated with mineral fertilizers. Because cows are themselves bioreactors, however, the milk they yield contains no trace at all of fertilizer. On average, conventional Irish milk contains more omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants than organic milk from Germany. The reason is the fodder; German organic farms may use only concentrates and silage as supplementary feed to increase milk output - which impacts negatively on the quality of the milk. This documentary looks at researchers who are studying potential ways of reliably distinguishing between organic and conventionally produced food. And that is no easy task. Nearly every foodstuff requires a specific test. But one thing is certain: organic farming makes a major contribution to human welfare - by helping to mitigate climate change, protect the groundwater, conserve nature and promote animal welfare.

Organic food industry picks up pace in india

New Delhi, Feb 04 (ANI): Being natural and chemical free, are the two aspects which people in India look for their eating habits today…Same is the case for Amit and Mridhu Mahajan, who believe that organic market has come a long way, developing its space in the national market. Their store ‘Nirvaaha’ is one such stop which offers variety of organic vegetables, pulses, spices, cooking oils and other organic products. They believe that the trend of health consciousness among consumers has led to bring upsurge in the organic food sector. With variant income groups and region of the country, consumers for organic food products are increasing day by day with their acute awareness from health hazards of chemicals and pesticides. Organic food market, which was considered as a niche segment by the Indian consumers, has now transformed into full-fledged industry with high growth potential. It has shown a growth at a CAGR of 30.7 per cent over the period of FY’2009-FY’2014. And, according to the recent report released by ASSOCHAM, the organic food market is estimated to rise from 402 million USD to 965 million USD in 2016.

12 Secrets the Food Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know

Browsing the store shelves, we usually take what catches our eye - products in a bright package or widely advertised ones. But is it the right thing to do? We know that pretty looks don’t guarantee good taste or health benefits.
If you wonder how to pick high-quality coffee or hesitate if the chocolate you are about to put into your trolley is tasty enough, our video will dispel your doubts! Bright Side shares some recommendations that will help you to choose only healthy and natural foods.

TIMESTAMPS
Hard cheese 0:47
Meat 1:14
Ground coffee 1:40
Honey 2:09
Ice cream 2:45
Chocolate 3:11
Fish 3:55
Bread 4:22
Carrots 4:40
Bell pepper 5:12
Scallions 5:32
Gelatin 5:55
SUMMARY
- When buying hard cheese, pay close attention to a number of its qualities, such as color, texture, and holes. It should be uniform and without a white crust. The holes shouldn’t be gathered together in one corner as if having a private party, - they should be evenly distributed on the whole chunk.
- Fresh meat is pink. It isn’t bright red or even brown. You should pay attention to the fat streaks: they should be glistening and very light. Good meat will also return to its original shape and not stick to your hands or feel slimy.
- Remember that good ground coffee is never stored in plastic jars, only in glass or metal ones. Choose coffee, whose package provides extra details, such as region, altitude, roast date. Look at the “best before” date - it shouldn’t be more than 18 months.
- Natural honey is transparent, with a uniform color. Taste it – it should be very sweet. Also, its smell is extremely fragrant. You can run a couple of tests to check its quality. First, you can rub a drop of it between your fingers: if it’s easily absorbed by your skin, it’s fine.
- Always read the contents of ice cream. Berry flavored ones are rarely natural, so it’s better to choose ice cream containing only nuts, candied fruit or gumdrops.
- First and foremost, pay attention to the ingredients of chocolate. Guess what? The shorter the list, the better your bar is! Quality chocolate must contain cocoa, while any derivatives are a sign of an artificial product.
- A fresh fish has bright eyes. If they are clouded or bulging, the fish is old. The gills should be bright red or light pink (but it rarely happens, when blood was drained through the gills).
- Fresh bread shouldn’t be tough, so always touch it at the store. Note that plastic bags let the bread stay fresh for longer, but it means nothing. It will lose its taste in just a couple of hours in such a package.
- Unwrapped carrots lose their crispness and sweetness if they are kept at room temperature. So packages from refrigerators will contain tastier carrots. Take well-shaped small carrots with no spots or rootlets.
- Two or three sections in a bell pepper indicate that it’s a little bitter and has fewer seeds. If there are four sections, it will be sweet with lots of seeds. Also, pay attention to the lower part of the pepper where it bulges.
- Look at the border between the white and green parts of the scallion. If it is distinct, the product is good, if it is gradual - pick another one as this one will be too tough.
- Are you a lover of gummy bears? Well, we have some bad news for you. Besides having in their content too much sugar, which is really bad for your health, these sweets also contain gelatin. And it is no secret that gelatin is made by boiling the skin, tendons, ligaments, and bones of pigs and cows with water.

Processed Food Documentary - Processed Food vs. Nutritional Needs

Processed FoodDocumentary: Processed Food vs. Nutritional Needs.
The human body runs on food. Once, food shortage was the major concern. After the second world war, technological advances in food production led to a new era, that was characterized by an overabundance of inexpensive food, and relatively little physical activity. In the decades that followed, other sociocultural shifts continued to contribute to the changing way we ate. Women who had previously controlled most of the average family's food preparation now entered the workforce in significant numbers. And the processed food industry began to capitalize on our need for fast, convenient food.
This meant that fewer meals were being cooked at home. And since convenience foods were generally higher in calories than home-cooked meals, the average person's caloric intake increased dramatically.
MayaAdam, MD, is waging a battle cry against one of America’s most critical – and challenging – public health crises of our generation: childhood obesity. A lecturer at Stanford School of Medicine and in Stanford University’s human biology program, she is leading the cause through education.

Health claims

According to the FDA, "Health claims describe a relationship between a food, food component, or dietary supplement ingredient, and reducing risk of a disease or health-related condition".

In general, claims of health benefits for specific foodstuffs have not been evaluated by national regulatory agencies. Additionally, research funded by manufacturers or marketers that may form the basis of such marketing claims has been shown to result in more favorable results than independently funded research.
